Current as of January 01, 2023 | Updated by Findlaw Staff

A. (1) There is hereby created an account in the state treasury to be known as the Comprehensive Capital Outlay Budget Acts Interest Earnings Account, hereafter referred to as the “Account”.

(2) As of April 1, 1987, the balance of the account in excess of two million dollars shall be credited to the state general fund.

(3) After July 1, 1983, interest earned from the investment of general fund monies appropriated in any capital outlay act, and from the investment of general obligation bond or note proceeds appropriated in any capital outlay act, and from the investment of monies in the account shall be credited to the state general fund; however, from April 1, 1987, to July 1, 1987, should the balance in the account fall below two million dollars due to allocations for cost over-runs, all interest earned shall be credited to the account until a balance of two million dollars is restored. After July 1, 1987, should the balance in the account fall below five million dollars due to allocations for cost over-runs, all interest earned shall be credited to the account until a balance of five million dollars is restored.

B. If it is determined by the agency, political subdivision, board, or director of the facility planning and control section of the office of the governor that the funds appropriated in any capital outlay budget act are not sufficient to complete the projects contained therein through unavoidable deficiencies in appropriation, including administrative and legal requirements, the commissioner of administration, subject to approval of the Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget, may direct the use of monies in the fund, not to exceed an aggregate of fifteen million dollars in any one fiscal year, for the purpose of completing the projects contained in any capital outlay budget act and such money shall be deemed appropriated in specific amounts necessary for such purpose; provided that such appropriations for administrative purposes shall be processed using existing procedures.

C. All appropriations made pursuant to this Section are made as additions to funds for previously authorized projects, and for accounting purposes shall be included in the account of the previously authorized project.
